A slanted, calligraphic serif style with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, pen-like terminals. Strokes flow with a consistent rightward rhythm, while many capitals and ascenders carry modest swashes and curved entry strokes that add flourish without fully connecting letters. Serifs are soft and somewhat bracketed, and counters are open, giving the forms an airy, handwritten refinement. Overall spacing feels moderately generous, helping the high-contrast shapes read cleanly at display sizes and in short passages.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and boutique branding where a refined handwritten impression is desired. It performs best in titles, pull quotes, short editorial passages, and packaging accents where the contrast and swash-like details can be appreciated. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The face conveys a classical, ceremonial tone—graceful and slightly romantic—like formal handwriting rendered with a pointed pen. Its gentle flourishes and italic movement create a warm, personable elegance rather than a rigid, mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to emulate formal, pen-written letterforms—balancing legibility with decorative movement—so it can deliver a polished calligraphic voice in contemporary layouts.
Capitals show the strongest personality, with varied stroke starts and occasional looped or hooked details that create a lively headline texture. Lowercase maintains a steadier cadence, but still features calligraphic joins, tapered feet, and occasional extended curves that add motion across a line.
